First messaged me on AYI, showed a lot of interest in coming to the UK to live as he didn’t like Russia, said lots of sweet things in his emails and sent me a fair few pics which I Google image searched and they all seemed to be from a genuine Russian registered on other dating websites. Only thing I was concerned with was that he had a very generic email address which never included his surname. After a month of emails I asked him what his surname was, when he told me I googled it up and it came across a scammer from here, also from Russia originally called Sergey Trebutov, who had a completely different face. Basically this guy has moved on from scamming using his own pics, he’s not trying to use other guy’s pics to extract money from people. He’s also from Russia but lives about 200 miles away from where Sergey told me he lives. When I confronted him about this and asked him to send me a pic of himself holding up a piece of paper with my name to confirm what he looked like he became evasive and refused consistently.
